Every possible care and attention were given during her illness and loved ones were constantly at her bedside! tenderly ministering to her in the hope of wooing her back to health, but their efforts were fruitless. The skill of the physicians counted for nought against the oncoming of the grim reaper, and at the hour stated she passed gently and sweetly into eternal rest. Her husband and children and all her brothers and sisters were by her bedside when the end came. Mrs Barron was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Buchanan. and was born in Madison County. Texas. in 1869, making her 47 years of age at the time of her death. Her parents, moved to this county when she was a small child and she was reared in the Steep Hollow community.

Her pure life, her bright, sunny nature, her charity, her deeds of loving kindness exercised a wholesome influence in her home, upon the lives of her husband and children, and left Its impress upon the community at large. She will be missed by her family, by her neighbors and friends, and her passing has left a vacancy that will be hard to fill. Besides her husband, she Is survived by eight children, viz: W. B. Barron, Mrs. Mattie Holland. Miss Gladys, Icy, Thelma, Lallie and Ruben and Ruble Barron. She also leaves two sisters and four brothers.
